Photo Quickies

PhotoQuickie is calling it quit and will no longer update this site. It should be no surprise, as we haven’t updated this blog for a very long time, and even the previous posts were half-hearted efforts. Thanks for visiting and/or subscribing to our RSS feed, and PhotoQuickie wishes you well with your photographic adventures and learning.

The site will remain up for a couple more days before we delete everything for good. If you want anything from the archives, PhotoQuickie suggests you grab it ASAP. Cya.

While PhotoQuickie hasn’t blogged as often as we hoped, we still surf and read about photography quite a lot. We expect our “Quickies of the Week” will be a regular feature with photography related links, but we expected to be Metamucil last time as well.

• Instructables on making a photo cube
• Canon Rebel XTi is out soon, and the trusty DPReview has an indepth look.
• AskMe: What are good, yesteryear digicams I can get for cheap?
• AskMe: Best (wide+fast) budget lens for a Rebel XT?
• Been going around the blogosphere, but How to make realistic hair in Photoshop

PhotoQuickie has been blogging for awhile (can’t say we do it regularly here, so our advice is to subscribe to our syndicated feed), but it has only been recently that we’ve been playing around with PhotoBlogging. What is photoblogging? It’s much like blogging, except instead of words and paragraphs, we’re posting photos. PhotoQuickie thinks it’s an excellent opportunity to show off some of our work in addition to getting some constructive criticism.

Taking our own advice, PhotoQuickie, along with several of our photo enthusiastic friends, have started our own photoblog. If you’ve ever wondered what sort of photos PhotoQuickie takes, here’s your chance!

PhotoQuickie has been mucking around the last little while with our camera, learning the ropes in the hopes that one day we can take photos good enough to show our friends & family without running away in shame.

Rather than relying on our suspect memory, we thought the best way to remember all the do’s and do not’s would be to blog it; with a side benefit of sharing our knowledge with the rest of the world. So Photo Quickies was born to provide tips, tricks and gotchas for beginner and amateurs learning the art of photography.

We blog searched the web for other blogs we could learn from, but found a lot of places telling us about the latest 50 megapixel camera. PhotoQuickie doesn’t have money to buy a new thousand dollar camera every week, so you will hardly see equipment reviews or news here. If you do want to learn how to take better photos then bookmark us or subscribe to our RSS feed.

And of course, PhotoQuickie is a beginner too so if you learn of any tips or have a killer tip to share, shoot us a note at tips@photoquickies.com.
